Now you see where all my blogging time has been going. Yes, it was time to work on design instead of content. I really like this new color scheme, but I’m not totally sold on this crowded three column layout. I was really hitting the limits of what I could cram into one sidebar.

Me, too! I especially like the little Stephen avatar. Stephen avatar says “ruby”! Yay!

Nice colors, except I only see 2 columns. Plus for viewing pleasure I need a) better eyes or 2) a Mac high res screen.
Go Heels!

Funny this morning I could only ‘see’ a white background with Carolina blue headings and wondered what Jenn could see that I couldn’t (insert sad face). But now I SEE! It looks very classy. btw Aaron is a dad, Samuel Aaron, born on Martin’s birthday.

In web designer lingo, each area of content is a ‘column’. The three on my page are: one column starting with the ‘About Me’, one column holding the title and blog content, and one column with the quicklines and other site stuff.
For easing of site viewing, try my beloved Opera web browser. When you zoom in Opera the entire website is scaled, not just the text, which is nice. This kind of zooming is coming for Firefox with version 3, but you can have it now with Opera.
